Author
Yasmina Reza
Yasmina Reza nació en París. Su padre, nacido en Moscú, descendiente de una familia judía expulsa - da de España por la Inquisición y que se refugió en Uzbekistán, y su madre, violinista, de una familia de judíos húngaros, se conocieron en París. Ha recibido los más prestigiosos galardones por sus obras teatrales (como el Molière, el Laurence Olivier, el Theater Houte y el Tony), entre las que destaca Arte, publicada en esta colección. De su obra narrativa hemos editado Una desolación: «Pocas veces existen tantas razones para recomendar una novela como en este caso» (María Bengoa, El Correo); Hammerklavier: «Una colección de relatos –de carácter autobiográfico– hermosamente perturbadores. Un exquisito manjar digno de paladares exigentes» (Lola Beccaria, ABC); En el trineo de Schopenhauer: «Un excelente libro compacto, que se lee de un tirón, y que a pesar de su divertida crítica sobre el empeño de ofrecer un sentido a la vida, nos transmite una conmovedora melancolía» (Jacinta Cremades, El Cultural); Felices los felices: «Acción y pensamiento, nervio y sentido del humor, es breve, pero te deja ver un mundo muy amplio, casi inabarcable... Reza es lúcida, divertida y cruel, pero sobre todo humanista» (Carlos Zanón, El País) y Babilonia: «A medio camino entre una trama de los Coen y el mejor libreto de Woody Allen, nos regala un “polar” divertido, tierno, profundo y patético sobre la vida del común de los mortales» (Ángeles López, La Razón). También la crónica El alba la tarde o la noche: «Tienes una obra maestra al alcance de la mano. Esto supone una rareza absoluta y debieras aprovechar la oportunidad» (Arcadi Espada, El Mundo).
